Spool buffer Hartpa V3

Multimaterial printing on the printer Pruša MMU assumes a gradual exchange of filaments of different colors. The Filament used for printing is redrawn back so that it can be replaced by another. The device uses the gravitational energy to wind the released filament back onto the spool.
Device is upgrade of HARTPA V2. Against HARTPA V2, the structure was reinforced with the rods from the jakl profile. This measure does not distort the frame by the coil weight. The connection to the pulley points of the printer has been adjusted so that the coil is directly connected using PTFE tubes.
